The Rotter Internal-External (I-E) Scale, the Academic Interest Measures-Educational Testing Service (AIMS-ETS) Survey, and a demographic questionnaire were administered to 541 Catholic high school students. Variance analysis revealed that internals were significantly differentiated from externals on 15 AIMS (life goals) in the 31-item AIMS-ETS Survey. The internal group rated health, security, peace of mind, having friends, building a better world, and being recognized as a competent as significantly more important than externals. The demographic data indicates that older students tended to be significantly more internal. Internals also expressed a significantly higher desire to attend church services. (Author/DEP)
